Hyperhidrosis Treatment

Hyperhidrosis Treatment in Ottawa

Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating happens in the underarms and other areas of the body. It’s a rare medical condition that affects approximately 3% of the population and can start in adolescence or adulthood. Aside from sweating, hyperhidrosis can be the cause of a number of indirect side effects that can hinder your quality of life.

The Effects of Hyperhidrosis

Sweating is an important bodily function that aids your body’s natural ability to regulate its own temperature. Hyperhidrosis inhibits your body’s ability to limit sweating, resulting in producing more sweat than necessary.

Hyperhidrosis has a number of indirect side effects that can affect you both mentally and physically. In fact, studies show that hyperhidrosis impacts quality of life similar to well-known dermatological conditions, such as severe acne or psoriasis. Excessive sweating affects work productivity, confidence, social comfort, emotional well being and even wardrobe choices. If it’s affecting the clothes you wear and your anxiety levels around other people, you could have hyperhidrosis.

Treatment Options For Hyperhidrosis

There are a number of treatments for hyperhidrosis that can have a dramatic effect on your condition.

Focal Injections can interrupt the signal from the nerves to sweat glands

Topical Treatments are available and mostly include aluminium chloride hexahydrate which inhibits sweating

Oral Medications are also available and can treat underlying conditions that create hyperhidrosis

Iontophoresis is the application of a low-intensity electric current to areas where you’re experiencing hyperhidrosis

Surgery is also an option for more severe cases. Surgery for hyperhidrosis severs the nerves that cause excessive sweating.

BOTOX® For Hyperhidrosis

BOTOX® treatment is the safest and most effective way to treat hyperhidrosis and can result in an average reduction of sweating up to 85%. It’s a quick and non-invasive procedure that can last 7 to 12 worry-free months.

BOTOX® has been used to treat many other conditions for years including cerebral palsy in children as young as two years of age. The long-term safety of the drug is well proven.

The procedure for BOTOX® treatment is as simple as injecting a small amount of the drug intradermally to the affected areas using a fine needle. Discomfort is minimal and you can choose to have a local anaesthetic applies to the area before injection if you’re concerned with needles. You’ll notice a significant reduction of sweating in the treated areas within a week of treatment.

Results of BOTOX® For Hyperhidrosis

After your BOTOX® treatment, you’ll be able to say goodbye to excessive sweating for the next 7 to 12 months. No longer will you feel embarrassed about excessive sweating. You’ll have the confidence to approach social situations with any worry. You’ll get to wear the clothes you want, take part in the activities you love and return to what’s really important in your life.
